I've heard all sorts of evil things will happen if I defrag an SSD, but I didn't think of it for my new PC until now. I've only had this PC for a few weeks. Just checked the Windows 10 disc optimization app and it had weekly defrag turned on for my solid state drive (C🙂 and the Recovery SSD, though the C drive's last run was apparently 24 days ago and Recovery simply "needs optimization."
I did read somewhere though that Windows 10 should detect that it's an SSD and act accordingly, meaning I could leave the automatic schedule on and it'll only do what is necessary. I still don't trust it though. For the time being, I have turned off the automatic defrag, but I wanted to know from someone who has more experience with either Windows 10 or SSDs if I'm doing the right thing.
Is there a chance that damage has already been done if, as I presume they have, at least one or two defrags have already occurred?
I contacted Microsoft Windows 10 online chat support and the guy just said "You can disable auto optimization if you want." Really helpful.
Thanks for any insight.
